EV Charging Stations

There are three ways to charge your EV: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 charging. Using an electric car charging station means a new way to fuel. The convenience of electric car chargers can reduce or even eliminate your trips to the gas station. Per mile, filling up a plug-in electric vehicle costs four to five times less than filling up at the gas station.

Key facts

"The U.S. has now over 10,000 public charging stations" (Department of Energy)

"The U.S. market for supply and installation of residential charging points alone is expected to reach almost $1 billion by 2020" (Electric Vehicles: Reducing Foreign Oil Dependence)

  When it comes to innovation, Best Buy continues to lead the way among retailers. They are currently the leading retailer of electric bikes and scooters and have recently added Brammo motorcycles to the mix, though their long-term strategy includes much more than adding a few two-wheeled EVs to their selection of computer, electronics and appliance products. The company believes that, by educating its customers about electric vehicles, it can become a preferred destination for them to purchase EVs of all kinds, up to and including highway-capable cars that one might normally expect to purchase at an auto dealership. As Best Buy has grown, so has its ability to impact the communities it serves. Its large number of retail stores, with their high access to consumers, gives the company significant reach.

• Hybrid Electric Vehicles

  A hybrid electric vehicle uses both an electric motor and an internal combustion engine or microturbine to propel the vehicle.  A hybrid is designed to capture energy that is normally lost through braking and coasting to recharge the batteries (regenerative braking), which in turn powers the electric motor.

  
  A 'parallel' hybrid electric vehicle uses the electric motor and/or the internal combustion engine or microturbine to propel the vehicle.  A 'series' hybrid electric vehicle uses the electric motor to provide added power to the internal combustion engine or microturbine. Hybrid electric vehicles have the potential to use electricity to power onboard accessories or to provide outlets to plug in appliances or tools.  All have the potential to achieve greater fuel economy than conventional gasoline-engine vehicles.

  
  Hybrids cars, trucks and buses on the road today are providing consumers the benefits of:
  

  -Reduced fuel consumption and tailpipe emissions
  -Optimized fuel efficiency and performance
  -Lower fueling costs
  -Recovered energy from regenerative braking
  -Uses existing gas station infrastructure

• Plug-in Electric Drive--Responding to a misleading USA Today Article
  The USA Today article by James Healey, “Plug-in cars could actually increase air pollution,” misleads readers about the use of electricity as an automotive fuel.  America’s transportation accounts for 67% of all U.S. oil consumption, most of it from unstable regions of the world.  Electric drive, including battery, hybrid, plug-in electric, and fuel cell powered vehicles, offers the best chance to slash our reliance on foreign oil, reduce emissions from the transportation sector, and improve environmental quality nationwide.  In fact, the study Mr. Healey cites notes that each region of the country will yield reductions in GHG emissions as plug-in electric vehicles assume more of the vehicle market share.  Click "Read more" to see EDTA's response to the article, as well as from NRDC.

• Plug-in Electric Vehicles

  What is a plug-in electric vehicle?

  “Plug-in electric vehicles,” like all electric drive vehicles, use electricity to move vehicle’s wheels. Some, or all, of that electricity comes from the grid -- from “plugging in.” 

  How do they work?

  Plug-in electric vehicles come in many forms, or configurations. With battery electric vehicles, all of the electricity comes from the grid. Hybrids with plug-in capability use a combination of grid electricity, regenerative energy from braking, and power from another onboard source, such as an internal combustion engine or fuel cell.

  In addition, plug-in hybrids can be configured to operate serially, or in a blended fashion. In a serial configuration, the vehicle runs on electricity alone at some points, like starting, and uses its other power source alone at others, for example, when accelerating. Alternatively, a plug-in hybrid may be configured for blended operation, i.e., the battery and the conventional engine operate together. 

  An extended-range battery electric vehicle uses an internal combustion engine or fuel cell to recharge the battery, but not to move the wheels.

  In addition to the variety of ways that plug-in technology can be configured, it can also be applied to a variety of vehicles. Plug-in electric vehicles are being developed and used in diverse applications – including commuter buses and utility trucks, full sized passenger cars, high performance roadsters and low-speed vehicles.

  Why do we need them? 

  What plug-in electric vehicles all have in common is the ability to use electricity from the grid to displace the petroleum used for transportation. Currently, 96% of U.S. transportation is fueled by oil. More that half of that oil is imported, often from hostile nations. Policymakers and the public are increasingly aware that this dependence on oil is a threat to our national security.

  Oil dependence also poses a threat to our economic security, as price volatility and supply insecurity impacts markets and consumers.  
  Plug-in vehicles are also an important part of a climate change strategy. Displacing petroleum with electricity reduces emissions from the transportation sector. Even with today’s mix of grid electricity sources, which is dominated by coal, the use of grid power instead of petroleum is a net benefit for the environment. As grid-power becomes even cleaner over time, the greenhouse gas reduction and other air quality benefits of plug-in vehicles will be even greater.

  What are we doing to bring them into the market? 

  The private and public sectors are working to accelerate the commercialization of plug-in options throughout the transportation sector. Major vehicle manufacturers and battery companies, as well as small start ups, are racing to make the necessary technology advances.  The federal government is supporting research, development and deployment. States and local government entities are implementing programs and incentives for plug-in vehicles.  
  A continuing commitment to, and support for, industry and government efforts can increase the electrification of transportation and move the Untied States toward a sustainable transportation sector, that invigorates, not undermines, our national security, our environment or our economy.

  Advantages of Plug-in Vehicles:
  
  -Reduced fuel consumption and tailpipe emissions
  -Cleaner electric energy through advances in natural gas and coal gasification 
  -Optimized fuel efficiency and performance
  -Recovered energy from regenerative braking
  -Unchanged gas station infrastructure
  -Grid connection potential
  -"Home based" battery recharging at a fraction of the cost of petroleum equivalent
  -Pure zero emission capability
  -Even lower fueling costs compared to battery sustaining hybrids
  -Possible use in secondary markets for used batteries and reduced waste
  
  Challenges:
  
  -Cost and complexity of two powertrains
  -Component availability--batteries, powertrains, power electronics
  -Higher initial cost
  -Cost of batteries and battery replacement
  -Added weight
